No one is revealing the band member names, but this doesn't detract from the music. From North Carolina, these unidentified folkie objects let you get acquainted through the melody. A very impressive debut album, we've got harmonies and a cappella, vintage keys and acoustic strings everywhere you look. Nothing here is haphazard, they are mimicking. Subtle and fragile, yes; mysterious and compelling too. There is a warm glow coming from deep within the Manx.
